This is a Scandinavian twist on basil pesto. You may substitute this for basil pesto and it's particularly good on grilled fish or chicken.

I had trouble finding fresh dill, so I used dried dill instead. It still turned out great!

This pesto is a bit too lemony for my taste, but I still enjoyed it.

This pesto is a great way to use up fresh herbs. I have a lot of dill in my garden, so this recipe is perfect for me. It's also a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.
